RCIA is geared more towards people wishing to convert or experience Catholicism, are there any options for Catholics who have been away for some time and wish to learn and return?

Adult Confirmation maybe if they haven't yet confirmed.

Sorry forgot my name. Adult Confirmation is an option at our parish for those fallen away Catholics that have not confirmed.

I did my confirmation when I was young, but I feel like I was away from the church for a while and need education. What would an option for me be?

Vinnie T and Bends, our parish has a program called "Landings" specifically for Catholics who have been away from the church. Perhaps you can check the websites of churches near you to see if any of them offer a similar program. Welcome back!

I am looking for guidance. My husband is a convert and long story short after a honeymoon with Catholicism is now better described as agnostic. Combination of very poor to non existent faith formation as child and severe time constraints as a med student and resident has left him totally dried up.
I am looking for resources. Books. Devotions. And prayers please for our family. I want to understand him better. At this point, he is not even willing to consider thr possibility of anything beyond, "yes, got probablybisnout there, but doesn't have much to do with me." I think to him, God is more judgement less love.
Our son is 5 and watches his father carefully. I know that my husband is uncomfortable with what he will learn about our faith leading up to recording the sacraments. It all seems very difficult to me. I don't want to create division in our family, yet I know Jesus says it will happen because of him.
I know I'm not the only one out there struggling with this. Any of you who have been there and made it through. I'd love to hear from you. I'm called to love my husband through this but I can't help but feel a little betrayed. I have to remember that this is not about me but about my husband and The Lord.

Just asking for prayers from Texas for SB2, a pro-life bill currently in the Senate....

Laura, prayers for your family!! I would ask for the intercession of Saint Monica. It could be as preparation for the sacraments your husband will become reawaken to the graces out poured through them. It might not help, either. You are a Saint standing with the promises made in marriage. Prayers!
